Top 10: Rock Cities

This article is sponsored in part by Get Him to the Greek, in theaters June 4th (What's this?)

What is a rock ‘n’ roll city? It’s a place that lives and breaths the music, where rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just something people play on their car radios, but is an integral part of the cultural fabric. Rock ‘n’ roll cities are born, they’re not made (sorry Cleveland). Over its 60-year history, the music has made its home around the globe; rock ‘n’ roll cities are where the music is beloved, and where it has grown and evolved into punk, metal, new wave, and grunge. Some of these cities put on the best concerts, while others turn out the best rock groups and live bands. Some are destinations where musicians go to get discovered, while others are where great groups cut their teeth before embarking on major careers. Plus, you should find it no surprise that two of the cities involved on this list feature prominently in Get Him to the Greek -- the rock 'n' roll comedy of the summer starring Russell Brand and Jonah Hill.
